Amid criminal silence by international community on Indiaís war crimes in
Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Kashmiri diaspora groups came together outside the UN
Human Rights Council office in Geneva to remind it of its obligations on Kashmir.

According to Kashmir Media Service, urging the UN body to speak for voiceless Kashmiris, the diaspora
members held demonstrations at the UNHRC office and called for holding India accountable for the war
crimes and crimes against humanity ion occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

ìThe silence of the UNHRC on blatant rights violations in IIOJK raises questions about its credibility,î said
Fahim Kayani, President of Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK, who led the Kashmiri diaspora group to Geneva.

ìIndia is the biggest violator of international norms, UN resolutions and brutally violates universal human
rights which demand international intervention in IIOJK where India is replicating Nazi-inspired tactics,î
Kayani said.

The joint demonstration was initiated by Tehreek-e-Kashmir Italy and Kashmir delegation to Geneva
where APHC-AJK leaders Altaf Hussain Wani, Syed Faiz Naqshbandi, Sardar Amjad Yousaf, Hasan-al-
Banna, Advocate Pervez, Shamim Shawl, Professor Shagufta Ashraf, Dr Sahira Shah were invited as
special guests.

ìIndia cannot enjoy the perks and privileges of the western world where democracy and respect to
human rights take precedence to any support,î Kayani said.

ìOn one side when India is trampling upon the values as espoused by the so-called international liberal
order and on other hand same fascist regime in India is being given an easy passage for illegally
occupying Kashmir which speaks volumes how double standards are at work.î

The UNHRC urged to seek information from India on illegal abduction of APHC Chairman Masarrat
Aalam butt and other Hurriyat leaders including Muhammad Yasin Malik, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Ayaz
Akbar, Peer Saifullah, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Aasiya Andrabi, Fehmeeda Sofi, Nahida Nasreen, Zafar Akbar
Butt, Ghulam Muhammad Butt, Dr Qasim Fakhtoo, Merajuddin Kalwal and others.

Referring to illegal ban on schools run under Falah-e-Aam trust (FAT), Kayani said Indian fascist regime is
hell bent on depriving Kashmir youth of their religion, faith, traditions, culture and history.

Hurriyat Leader Altaf Hussain Wani said the fascist Indian military regime was moving fast to artificially
change the Muslim-majority character of the UN-designated disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

Syed Faiz Naqshbandi said, ìIndia knows this bare truth that Kashmiris will vote against it in UN-
monitored plebiscite and that is why it wants to effect changes in the demography of the region.
